    “hi, dealership, I’m looking for a car that looks like an oversized Amazon package and rides like I’m in a trashcan being kicked by a mule. You say you have plenty of jeeps available? Perfect.”

      Jeeps, man. If you’re looking for a comfortable, reliable, fuel efficient vehicle, you’d go elsewhere. But if you want the front windshield to fold down, and for it to perform better off-road than on-road, they got a box on wheels that’s perfect for you.

        If people actually wanted that, Jeep wouldn’t keep making it more complicated and awkward to do with each new generation.

          Yeah, you right haha. Ever since the JK I think it’s been theoretically possible, with effort, and you’ll have water ingress issues permanently.

        Neighbor got a jeep. I was shocked to learn it gets 15-17 miles per gallon. I get that it is an SUV, but there are SUVs with more utility that get better gas mileage.
